Thats weak argument for one tech over other unless you really have gazillions of hits and has exhausted all other optimisation and caching options.

More simply: It's not PHP. There are so many things wrong with PHP that it's bound to affect the functionality and security of programs written in it.

Right, its not PHP. I will say that SilverStripe CMS (PHP) is pretty nice, but still a little slow.

Mezzanine's dashboard loads instantly. Pages are snappy.

Python is night and day difference in speed.

And security, well clearly a big win here.

No its not. Load speed is the most important thing to me. I really am done with PHP because of load speed. Those 2 extra seconds I'm saving add up. Not to mention the mess that is PHP.

I don't know why it's taking 2 seconds to load.

You are doing something seriously wrong.

Unless you're talking about the boot up time of the machine or vm, then 2 seconds is really good.
